THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST PETER, HESWALL

The charity exists to provide public worship according to the rites and ceremonies of the Church of England as well as pastoral care and social and religious activities for residents of the ecclesiastical Parish of Heswall. It also seeks to promote the aims of the Church of England (spiritual, social, pastoral and evangelistic) in the community of Heswall and in the wider world.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
Why are there 19 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
